There are even more talks from companies who have sponsored the MariaDB foundation in the past.<br /><br />However there are no talks from any employee from the MariaDB Foundation at the Percona conference.<br /><br />Having a member or sponsor of the MariaDB foundation talk at some conference, is not the same thing as having a person employed at the MariaDB Foundation give a talk.<br /><br />MariaDB foundation is a non profit company who is driving the MariaDB project and who is working closely with the MariaDB developer community. To be able to do this work we need to have an independent voice. Without a voice, we can&#39;t guarantee that MariaDB will stay as an active, community develop product.Michael "Monty" Wideniushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15420721188341693053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5552895785228669482.post-9701851520413005652014-03-24T01:56:22.849+02:002014-03-24T01:56:22.849+02:00You wrote: &quot;Percona did not give the MariaDB ...You wrote: &quot;Percona did not give the MariaDB Foundation a single talk&quot;.<br />Seriously, you don&#39;t even know what do your team members participate in?

The vendors is doing a lot of good in the MariaDB and MySQL ecosystem and it&#39;s good to be able to talk with them.<br /><br />Yes, it&#39;s true that the initial reason for Baron&#39;s post was that Percona was frozen out from the conference. I did back then go to O&#39;Reilly and complain about this and was part of getting Percona back into the MySQL event.<br /><br />In some sense things are similar now as they were back then. Percona did not give the MariaDB Foundation a single talk, keynote or even a MariaDB.org booth.<br /><br />The main point is however that it&#39;s not good to have one company in charge of an event that is regarded as a user and community event. It&#39;s time to change things around and start creating a free venue where everyone can participate on equal terms, without discrimination.<br /><br />As you can see on the current schedule at https://mariadb.org/en/community-events/, every single talk comes from a different company.Michael "Monty" Wideniushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15420721188341693053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5552895785228669482.post-38930080471940186542014-03-06T17:41:25.772+02:002014-03-06T17:41:25.772+02:00Why not run it on the Monday?

It seems an odd decision for the community to run it side by side on the Thursday. <br /><br /><br />You said:<br /><br />&quot;We were partly inspired to do this by Baron Schwartz blog post announcing the Percona Performance conference in 2009.&quot;<br /><br />Wasn&#39;t this because Percona were effectively frozen out of the conference? With members on the committee and a relatively high number of talks accepted, this isn&#39;t really comparable is it?<br /><br />You said:<br /><br />&quot;Personally I would also like to see more conferences where the speakers are drawn from all the people that create and continue to innovate in the technology, rather than conferences where a majority of the speakers come from a single company.&quot;<br /><br />Isn&#39;t creating a conference where a majority of the speakers come from a single company exactly what you&#39;re doing?Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5552895785228669482.post-51271108789664126312014-03-06T14:31:20.084+02:002014-03-06T14:31:20.084+02:00Why is this on Thursday and not Monday (a complete...Why is this on Thursday and not Monday (a completely available day)??
